The semi finals finished on time, so it's time for a quick update to my ELO ratings for the finals of the US Open.

But before the rankings, some stats I calculated for the top 150 players:

Men's Rank

± ELO

1-10

63

11-20

-25

21-50

13

51-100

37

101-150

-10

Women's Rank

1-10

69

11-20

-5

21-50

23

51-100

3

101-150

-34

All 4 finalists are in the top 10, so these are the final numbers, with the last change being a 5 point gain for the top 10 women from the 21-50 group. Now all that's left is to see which top 10 player will win the title.

The 4 men who remain in the tournament are all in the top 10 above, so this is the final version of those stats. The only changes are that the top 10 gained ELO mainly at the expense of the 21-50 group. The top 10 women make up 3 out of the 4 semi finalists, and they gained points from the last round at the expense of the 21-50 and 51-100 groups.

The 11-20 ranked men have done much better this round than the previous round, taking most of those points from players ranked 21-50, such as David Ferrer's win over Fabio Fognini, and those outside of the top 150.

The big change for the women this time is an improvement in the 21-50 group, at the expense of the 51-100 group, such as Johanna Larsson's win over Denisa Allertova and the 101-150 group, such as Timea Babos' win over Richel Hogenkamp.
